Guest Reviews

• Julie (10/5): -
• NOZOMI (10/5): -
• Laura (10/5): Wonderful peaceful stay with a great view - The location was very nice, since it is close enough to Tapovan, but still you don’t get all of the noise pollution. We where super lucky to get the rooms on the top floor, so we had our little private balcony and view of Rishikesh and the Ganga, which we really enjoyed. The rooms where well maintained and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We also rented scooters, which were of really good condition. My dad also got 2 massages, which he really enjoyed. Everything was very much to our satisfaction, we would definetly come here again :) If you don’t like walking stairs it might be tricky for you, but for us it was actually a nice little exercise after mostly moving with the scooter around the city
• Singhal (8/5): -
• Kylie (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful stay with great views. - The view was amazing! The room was large and comfortable with a lovely balcony overlooking the Ganga. The staff were very nice and helpful. The location was great as you were away from all of the craziness but with many options for eating around the hotel and just a 20min walk to Ram Jhula. The view from the yoga deck and studio was spectacular! Ok, I personally didn't mind but I have to mention, it was a steep walk up to the hotel with our bags (no vehicle access for the last little bit) and there were several stairs to get up to the room but the very helpful staff carried our heavy bags up and my thighs got a good workout during my stay 😂 and it's called Hilltop Swiss Cottage so to be expected and the view is worth it!
• Shahla (8/5): Relaxing stay with helpful staff. Peaceful location for Rishikesh away from the noise. - I enjoyed the peaceful location and great views from the rooftop. Watching the monkeys and nature from my balcony. Was comfortable, clean and the facilities were good. Nothing
• Anne (10/5): A choisir absolument - L'emplacement en.dehors du bruit et la.chambre avec terrasse privative Rien
• M (8/5): 快適 - 眺めが良く、静かなところ。 特に無し。
• Jo morrish (10/5): Rishekesh - Loved the whole place and the facilities near by ..cafes ..Nirvana And away from the business Had to move out on weekend cos it was busy...l didn't know l was going 2 fall in love with it!!!!
• Mirna (7/5): -
• Tusheel (10/5): I’ll be returning fir a staycation. Maybe work from herefor a week! - The view, the staff, the cleanliness
• Simon (9/5): Great views over the Ganges - excellent hilltop location
• Sara (10/5): - The views were amazing, staff really nice, food super good. Very good choice!
• Amy (8/5): Great room, staff and quiet location - The staff were super friendly and the room was big and comfortable and very quiet The location being a bit outside of Tapovan meant that getting anywhere we had to deal with a very busy and chaotic main road, which wasn't fun
• Elizabeth (10/5): Had a great stay. Very relaxed, lovely room, friendly staff, good food. - Loved the view and the balcony. Felt like it was tucked away in a lovely peaceful corner. Staff were very helpful.
• Fiona (10/5): available - This was second time staying at hill top swiss cottage. I loved my spacious room and watching the monkeys from my balcony Enjoyed the morning yoga The views are amazing and it's a nice relaxing, luxurious place! If I ever come back to Rishikesh, I'd only stay here. Special thanks to Vinod for helping me with various logistics during my stay 🙂 A small point, but a few items from the menu were never available during both of my stays (a few of the appetizers and the fruit).

• Fiona (10/5): - I loved my stay here, so much that I've just booked to stay here again! Its very peaceful but still close enough to walk into central Tapoven. My room was beautiful and spacious with amazing views. You can book good value excursions via the hotel, and the staff were very helpful with any questions I had. It was great having room service and a fridge in the room, as well as filter water. There is a yoga class at 8am for a small fee on the rooftop, which is very good. The food was nice
• EMMA (8/5): Woundful helpful staff - Great place. Super helpful and friendly staff. Wonderful location, just out if the chaos but only a short walk in. Everything you need on doorstep, great restaurants and spa
• Virginie (10/5): Peaceful stay with room service - I had a really lovely stay here. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Tapovan, which I really appreciated — close enough, but away from the noise, so it’s very quiet. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and room service is available, which is a nice plus. The view from the rooftop is beautiful. The staff are super friendly and always helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. I initially booked 4 nights and ended up extending for 3 more — I didn’t want to leave. And I would definitely come back.
• kristine (10/5): Peaceful haven - Beatiful views. Helpful staff, 20 munutes to walk into town. Nearby cafes, massage. Safe neighbourhood
• Mayuko (8/5): - 屋上からの眺め。 高台なのでスーツケースがあると大変。
• Balog (8/5): -
• laurena (10/5): - Séjour parfait dans cet établissement. La chambre est spacieuse et bien équipée. Le personnel est adorable. L’hôtel est plein de charme et la salle de yoga au dernier étage est magnifique. Je recommande!
• claudia (8/5): - I enjoyed staying at Swiss Cottage for its comfort and clean rooms, my last room was the best with the Ganga View. The sunrise came right into my window and there were monkeys every morning on the balcony. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location was not so convenient, because there is not so much options for restaurants nearby and the traffic outside is horrible.
• Shreya (8/5): -
• Mayukh Dasgupta (9/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Amazing stay - The property is two minutes walking from the main road which is great because is very quiet. The staff is fantastic and attended all our requests ! Transfers, recommendations , anything was a simple request for them. Definitely a good place to stay

• Shirley (9/5): -
• Mariana (9/5): - Os quartos têm.vistas lindas das montanhas e.do rio Ganges. Os funcionários são simpáticos e prestativos..A comida é.gostosa e um bom preço. Fica um pouco afastado, pra quem não se preocupa em subir montanha é bem legal, mas mesmo tuktuk não.leva até a frente do hotel. Em compensação, o lugar é calmo e quieto.
• Gass (10/5): - Top Lage.Oberhalb von Rishikesh .Lokale in der Nähe nicht vegetarisch und Alkohol erhältlich.Top Ausstattung,sauber und ruhig .Rezeption wechselt Geld und beantwortet Fragen wegen Transport und Ausflügen.Zimmerservice über Restaurant.Es gibt einen Wasserfilter und man kann Flaschen selber auffüllen.In der Nähe Massagen und Reisebüros.Kleiner Supermarkt .Leider kurzer Weg zu Fuss, weil tuk tuk s nicht hoch fahren.Gerne wieder Schöne Erfahrung.😊✌️🙏Tip Café Nirvana daneben.Klasse Frühstück .Auch Cappuccino! Nix alles super
• Shayala (8/5): - It was a very sweet property and reasonably priced
• Ron (1/5): -
• Jose (10/5): It's like a tree cabin in a hill of Rishikesh - I've stayed twice the first time I had a nice room with views of the river, the second time they gave me a bigger room with private balcony a nice bathroom and a day bed. I believe this is a suite. The staff are very helpful. Vinod made sure I had everything I needed from the booking to the day I left. When I left they started remodeling, I can't wait to see what they do with the place. The stairs hahaha but by day 6 you get used to it.
• Tyagi (10/5): - Staff...food.. location
• Himanshu (10/5): -
• gosiadab (10/5): Wrócimy tu z pewnością ! - Hotel bardzo godny polecenia. Pokoje czyste, przestronne, ogromne wygodne łóżka, świeża i bardzo przyjemna pościel. Czuliśmy się komfortowo i bezpiecznie.W pokoju spory taras z widokiem na zieleń. Hotel jest cofnięty od głównych ulic, co zapewnia ciszę i spokój. Jednocześnie bardzo łatwo można dotrzeć do wszystkich głównych atrakcji. Minuta spacerem od hotelu jest restauracja Nirvana z przeeepysznym jedzeniem :) Obsługa hotelu doskonała !!! Ludzie, którym zależy, by to miejsce miało dobrą renomę, dodatkowo niezmiernie serdeczni i otwarci. Veer jesteś duszą tego miejsca :) Bardzo za wszystko dziękujemy i pozdrawiamy serdecznie z mroźnej Polski :))
• Shehzada (10/5): Amazing stay. I actually extended my stay. - The location is good. Walking distance to town. The staff are amazing. I was very well taken care of. All is good.

• Jagrit (10/5): -
• Katarina (10/5): Spatious and very authentic place with very nice staff - The location is just perfect! It is in a quiet part of the Tapovan neighbourhood which is very vibrant. We rented a scooter from the hotel which helped a lot moving around, but it is also walkable distance to many places. The room was very bright, spacious, and with lovely views. They offer really cool yoga classes with a view of the Ganges river and there is also an amazing terrace with views.

• Sidonie (10/5): Petit coin calme et parfait - L emplacement la vue les attentions du personnel les services proposés comme la laverie et les petits déjeuners La salle de yoga est super et le prof Parhlan est parfait
• Ines (7/5): - Besonders gut war der Yogalehrer. Und ein sehr schönen Yoga Platz mit der aufgehenden Sonne und die Sicht über das Gangatal. Das Hotelpersonal hat meine Daten an Dritte rausgegeben. Jemand der nach mir fragte, bestätigt, dass ich in diesem Hotel bin. Ein Now Go in Deutschland. Direktes Umfeld sieht aus wie eine Ruine oder Müllplatz. Leider verbrennen die Menschen hier ihren Müll und direkt neben ihrem Haus.
• Luca (10/5): -
• Deeksha (7/5): - personal balkon blick bad
• Jane (7/5): A friendly place in a great location, really good yoga classes. - Great location We visited in January, it was very cold and the heating didn’t work, despite the staff repeatedly telling us it did.
• Adriana (8/5): All in all it was good. - The hotel in general. The view from the top floors- The works/drilling during the day - they were renovating some parts of the hotel. I had to stay in door because of a bad cold, so the noise was prretty disturbing.

• Carla (10/5): - Disfruté mucho la estadía aquí. Está como a 15 minutos caminando de Topovan, pero perfecto para relajarse y disfrutar de la tranquilidad del área. La habitación era muy cómoda y amplia, y estaba todo limpio. Lo recomendaría totalmente. El personal es muy amable y siempre da consejos sobre el área.

• Saurav (9/5): -
• Celine (10/5): Wonderful, peaceful place - The Hill Top Swiss Cottage is beautifully located, at the end of a quiet street, surrounded by nature. I have stayed there 3 times, and each time was met by the really helpful team. The Deluxe rooms have a wonderful view of the mountains. The rooms are comfortable and clean. It has been wonderful to have breakfast on the balcony or on the terrasse! I can't recommand this place highly enough 🤗
• Beatrice (9/5): Perfect stay - Really peaceful high up place in a good location at the edge of tapovan. Amazing views from the rooms and roof terrace and drop in yoga every morning with a fantastic teacher, plus a great way to meet people. Great cafe nearby. There was a lot of construction on the road when we were there so sometimes it was hard to get into the hostel. But this will pass!
• Nell (10/5): - Personnel est adorable et très à l’écoute, le room service sert de bons plats typique
• Clara (8/5): - The calm, the outside and the kindness of the staff A bit far from Town, short quantity of hot water

• Steven (9/5): Great stay, sorry to leave - Delicious Indian breakfast delivered to our room, excellent choices and great value. Out on the balcony (monkeys permitting). Yoga was very good, great value, well taught, and literally seconds walk! Extremely helpful staff. Very good room and facilities. Nothing, very happy overall
• Renata (9/5): Beautiful views from a tranquil spot - Beautiful views from the room. The location is near the city center, in a tranquil area. The staff was attentive and helpful.
• clare (10/5): It's was perfect got us. Helpful and frienfly staff and lovely view - It was rustic, clean andawzy from the town but just a 15 minutes eslk away Nothing
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Kiran (10/5): Wrap-around service and peaceful accommodation - Any deficiencies in our room were seriously outweighed by the great customer service, huge room, proximity to food and groceries, and stunning hilltop location in the trees with views of the monkeys and birds from the large windows and balcony. It was such a welcome respite from the pollution of Delhi. In addition, my child and I were able to take a yoga class on the top floor with a kind and patient instructor. We easily walked into town and to all of the main sights. Room service is available on demand. The staff have good relationships with all of the local service providers. Recommend! Not a deal breaker, but the bathroom could use an update.
• Sabrina (10/5): - Alles perfekt, schön, super Ausblick, Zimmer mega, wie auf Bildern, Lage top, ruhig und doch zentral, Personal super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit Das Internet war zum Arbeiten oft nicht so gut
• Janelle (10/5): - Was super peaceful and the room was so nice and spacious. I think it was the best spot in Tapovan ! The bathroom drain smelt a bit when it was windy.
• Patrik (9/5): -
• Monika (9/5): - Najbardziej podobaly nam sie malpki biegajace po naszym balkonie i wspanialy widok z okna Sniadania. Nie polecam zamawiac tutaj jedzenia bo jest kiepskie i nie warte tej ceny
• Morgy (9/5): - Super kind staff and the room and the view were amazing! Walking up to the hotel from the road can be tough for anyone with an injured foot. There is a climb up a hill/bumpy road.
• Tom (10/5): Relaxt verblijf in Rishikesh - De locatie net buiten tapovan gelegen op een heuvel geeft de ruimte om terug te trekken uit de drukte en een prachtig uitzicht over de ganges en de stad. Vinod (de man van de receptie) was erg behulpzaam en kon ons overal mee helpen. De kamer was schoon en netjes:) De prijs is voor ons backpackers wat aan de hoge kant maar daarentegen was dit ook terug te zien in het prettige verblijf.

• Timothy (10/5): Peaceful and calm - Peaceful Escape with Beautiful Nature Vibes! Hill Top Swiss Cottage was an amazing place to stay — peaceful, scenic, and full of good energy. The views from here are absolutely stunning and give a true feeling of being surrounded by nature. The design of the cottage is so cool — they’ve brought the natural beauty of Rishikesh right inside with plants, wood decor, and cozy corners that make it feel like a mountain retreat. The rooms were comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They also rent scooters, which made exploring the area super easy. The food was delicious and fresh, perfect for enjoying in the calm, green surroundings. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and a natural vibe, this is the spot! 🌿✨ No complaints
